A bad batch of cocaine is being blamed for several hospitalizations in east Williston.

According to the Levy County Sheriff's Office, a total of nine people are suspected of having ingested the bad batch. Five people were taken to the hospital last night while two refused treatment and two more left the scene.

Several complaints of four men, ranging in age from 30 to 60, and one woman in her 30s foaming at the mouth and having violent seizures were reported.

Officials say they don't know what the cocaine was laced with but it caused serious injury.

The sheriff's office is looking for a person known as "Minute" but there is no description of the man.
